The Buy column links to retailers we may earn a commission from, at no extra cost to you. It never affects rankings. GearScore is the overall rating (0 to 100); re-weight it on the full comparison.

This page ranks every Petzl headlamp we track, scored on published specs, not opinions. GearScore rewards low weight and beam distance once a lamp is bright enough for the job, with price as a lever. You can re-weight any of those factors, or sort and filter the whole field, on the full headlamp comparison.
